Summary of Day

Mr. Speaker: I have to report to the House that, in the House of Peers, Her Majesty, by Her Royal Commissioners, has been pleased to approve of the choice made of myself for the Office of your Speaker, and that I have, in your name and on your behalf, made claim, by humble Petition to Her Majesty, to all your ancient and undoubted rights and privileges, particularly to freedom of speech in debate, freedom from arrest, freedom of access to Her Majesty whenever occasion may require, and that the most favourable construction may be placed upon all your proceedings. All these Her Majesty, by Her Commissioners, has been pleased to allow and confirm in as ample a manner as they have ever been granted or confirmed by Herself or by any of Her Royal Predecessors.
My first duty to the House is to repeat my very respectful acknowledgements and my grateful thanks for the great honour which you have conferred upon me by placing me in the Chair.
I must now call upon the Members of the House, according to the usual custom, to take the Oath of Allegiance at the Table of the House, first doing so myself.

Thereupon Mr. SPEAKER first alone, standing upon the upper step of the Chair, took and subscribed the Oath.

Mr. Speaker: It has proved convenient, to save confusion and to save hon. Members having to wait about in the Chamber, for the Chair to announce the order in which it proposes to call right hon. and hon. Members to take the Oath.
I propose to call, first, the Government Front Bench and then the Opposition Front Bench, then all Privy Councillors and former Ministers not included

in those two groups, wherever they may be seated. Thereafter I go bench by bench, first the second bench below the Gangway on my right and then the similar bench on my left; then the back bench below the Gangway on my right and then the similar bench on my left. To save going through the whole story I would respectfully say to the House that there is a diagram of how I propose to proceed on the notice boards in the Whips' offices and in the "No" Lobby. The seats are there given numbers and the numbers will be on the annunciators so that hon. Members will not have to sit about.
